I actually purchased With Love when it came out back in 2006 when it came out. I was really surprised considering how I despised anything Hilary Duff (minus her Lizzie McGuire series...after that I really didn't care much for H. Duff). It was on one of my random trips in Macy's where I found myself enamored by this perfume.
One of my best purchases to date.
With Love is a mossy woods fragrance developed by perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Stephen Nilsen of Quest. It includes notes of mangosteen fruit(not related to a mango...it's a tropical evergreen), spices, mangosteen blossom, cocobolo wood, balsam, incense, amber milk (I love amber!!) and amber musk. Also, I read online somewhere that Champagne plays a role in this perfume.
Upon first spritz, there's a sweetness that hits your nose and doesn't go away. The perfume starts with the fruity notes of Mangosteen and Champagne. After about a half hour, the scent becomes more woodsy and is just plain euphoria afterward. I'm a huge fan of woodsy scents, as you all may know, so this definitely hits the spot. It's a creamy amber-wood with hints of fruitiness lying around but not as forceful as before. There's also a vanilla like ambiance floating about your nose.
What remains in the dry down is mostly musk and pleasantly warm. It definitely becomes a seductive scent. I once wore it out with my now ex-beau and when we hugged he demanded to know the name of my perfume. We were hugging all night and the snuggling wasn't bad.
I never gave up the name of this perfume and hopefully he hasn't found out about this blog.
With Love is definitely my go-to scent when I wanna feel sexy. Is it me or can a perfume set your mood?
I absolutely love the woods in this perfume! As I said before, it becomes a warm scent that doesn't bother your nose by the end of the day. And the lasting power...OHMIGOD! I never have to worry about this scent fading. Never.
And how cute is the bottle??!? I keep it at the forefront of my vanity.
Anyone else try this perfume? Loved it? Hate it? Never tried but want to? Tell me in the comments!

I always worry when i try a new face product because i dont want to break out either, but this formula is made for people with oil skin which is typically acne prone. I would definitely try a sample. The original broke me out, but this one hasnt.
